Question

Cabling

I need some cabling support, specifically: I need to run a series of cables through a conduit. I use the route network first, then the route cables. To have them side by side, I copy the network of the first one, at least for the straight segment. What I need is if there's a way, when I route cables, that my cables must fit inside my conduit, so I can set some clearances. If there are a lot of cables and they don't fit within the clearances, please let me know. Basically, I need the same thing you use for the holes; that is, I set the maximum clearance diameter through which certain cables can pass, but instead of circular areas, I need rectangular areas since they're conduits.

Thanks in advance.

I believe what you are looking for is how to pull cable 4 sided conduit.ย The basic parameters are very similar to using round conduit Here is a couple of Cable Pull worksheets I have used.

The image shows the cables running inside a conduit. I'd like to run many more cables inside, and I'd like the software to tell me how many I can insert, because the cables must remain inside the walls marked in red. Is this possible? Please send me the PDF files, not the .mcdx ones, because I don't have Mathcad. Thanks
